Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank you for being with us.
The facts you've stated before our committee this morning are very disturbing and cause a great deal of concern. As you know, the committee has met many of the representatives whose weaknesses you've reported today. Among others, the people from National Defence told us last week that, in view of the amount involved in the contracts, a person reviewed the process, ensured that everything had been done in compliance with the rules and everyone had been able to participate fairly in the call for tenders.
Ms. Liliane Saint Pierre, from Public Works and Government Services Canada, told us that, normally in the case of substantial contracts, a person was designated to ensure that the process was properly conducted.
Do you know whether such a person was appointed in the case of your contract?
